Melancon (D TX 4) Does Ralph Hall represent your values?

Time and time again Ralph Hall tells voters that American soldiers will have to “fight a war and take some energy away from someone.”  Does this represent your values?  It doesn’t represent mine. I believe it’s time to stop talking about stealing and to start investing in America.

My campaign has produced a short video using Hall’s own words to expose his values.  Please circulate it to your family and friends.

Rebuilding America

The Dallas Morning News says that  Ralph Hall has a “poor understanding of the global complexity of the credit crisis.” (Oct. 9, 2008) Now’s the time for change.

We can’t keep borrowing money from the Chinese and throwing it at Wall Street.  The American people deserve a strategy that builds our country from the bottom up.  Your tax dollars will never trickle down from New York City.

Washington politicians need to stop thinking of credit as a way of life. Texas families need good jobs, affordable health care and a secure retirement.  Main Street needs help, now.

I believe it’s time to rebuild America.

Never Surrender to Financial Terrorism

The wizards of Wall Street are threatening the survival of our republic and the free market. They want Congress to surrender budgetary authority to the President just like it surrendered War Powers during the debate over Iraq. It was wrong then, and it’s wrong now. We must have accountability and transparency.

Our Founding Fathers wisely limited each branch of government and assigned each part specific responsibilities. The Constitution is clear—Congress, not the President nor the Federal Reserve, is the “decider.” Congress decides how much to spend and what to spend it on. George Bush’s request for a blank check to bail out Wall Street strikes at the very heart of our Constitution. If our Representatives write the check without protections for the taxpayers, then the American experiment of limited government will be over. Read the rest of this entry »

New Energy Reform Act of 2008

I welcome the new bipartisan energy compromise. The New Energy Reform Act of 2008 includes significant investments in alternative-fuel vehicles, repeals tax breaks for big oil, and opens new areas to offshore drilling. We have to break the gridlock in Congress. Texas families need an energy policy that works for us. Read the rest of this entry »

America’s future depends on clean, affordable energy

It’s time to change fundamentally the dynamics of the energy industry. America’s future depends on clean, affordable energy from a variety of sources. In the 1970s America faced a similar challenge to today’s energy crisis. A small group of countries had threatened the prosperity of the entire world. The United States Congress led the way to reducing our nation’s reliance on foreign oil, requiring new technologies to reduce home and automobile energy use. Instead of the disaster the doomsayers predicted, consumption fell and the economy bounced back. A wise energy policy makes a stronger America. Read the rest of this entry »
